    Atletico Madrid to play Iternational Champion Cup in Melbourne


    Spanish giants Atletico Madrid have been announced as the final side to play in the Australian leg of the International Champions Cup in Melbourne.
    Diego Simeone's La Liga outfit will compete against English Premier League title contenders Tottenham, Serie A leaders Juventus and reigning A-League champions Melbourne Victory at the MCG in July.
    The impressive line-up follows on from last year's inaugural instalment featuring Real Madrid, Roma and Manchester City.
    Atletico is Spain's third-most successful club behind Barcelona and Real Madrid, with 10 La Liga titles and 10 Copa Del Rays among their silverware.
    They also won the Europa League in 2010 and 2012 and made the 2014 UEFA Champions League final.
    The announcement follows the club's 1-0 win in the Madrid derby, which all-but ended the title hopes of Zinedine Zidane's team and kept Atletico hot on the heels of La Liga leaders Barcelona.
    The club features a raft of stars including French attacking talent Antoine Griezmann, Tiago Mendes, Koke and Fernando Torres, though he is only on loan from AC Milan.

    Simeone said the competition would form a key part of Atletico's pre-season training program.
